Coalman Glacier, Glacier on Mount Hood, Oregon, US
Coalman Glacier extends across the southern face of Mount Hood, spanning from 11,200 to 10,500 feet in elevation near the volcanic crater rim.
The glacier received its name from Elija Coalman, a mountain guide who completed more than 580 ascents of Mount Hood during his career.
The glacier serves as a key reference point for mountaineers ascending Mount Hood's south route, featuring the notable Hogsback snow ridge formation.
Climbers can access Coalman Glacier through the South Climbing route, which begins at Timberline Lodge and requires technical ice climbing equipment.
The glacier's positioning beneath Crater Rock creates specific shading conditions that influence its ice formation patterns and seasonal changes.
